Q: What do you love about Thurrock?

A: Since opening in 1994, we have built a portfolio of many loyal customers. Many have returned time and time again. The customers and people of Thurrock are great.

Q: What has kept you here?

A: I have enjoyed building my business here. We expanded in November last year and we can now cater for more people and still offer the same level of service.

We have a team of experienced staff, including chefs who work hard to ensure the dishes our customers receive are of the highest quality. We look forward to seeing regulars and meeting new customers and providing them with a new experience in Indian dining.
